                                This photo is called "The last Jew in Vinnitsa"

 

I'm posting more about the war again now because I want to remind what people do when they go crazy and just follow orders.

The background of this picture is that at first the Jews who were to be exterminated were not transported to death camps.

SS mobile task forces were used to do this work.

What these men did was so horrible and stressed them so much that it was finally decided to exterminate masses of Jews in a more "gentle" way for the SS men , namely with gas.

The picture above was taken in Ukraine.

A mobile task force had the order to shoot very many Jews individually and by head shot.

There were 28,000 of them.

They were told they would be counted, all the Jews in the area.

They were told to undress and step forward.

The first in line were those who were lucky in a way.

They were shot in the head and fell into an empty pit, behind them was the endless queue of those who were next in line.

Naked women with their children, they all must have been so scared, hell on earth.

The front ones had to shovel baking soda on the corpses to promote their decomposition and ensure a minimum of "hygiene".

Often the bodies were still twitching in their death throes.

Then they too were shot.

Children were given a blow on the head to save ammunition. Then they were silenced or thrown into the pit, crying.

The mothers watched and then they were shot.

Three days and three nights this went on.

The man at the pit was the last.

The picture was found among the photos of a soldier, after the war.

It is very unlikely that they killed all the Jews of the area.

Most Ukrainian Jews who survived then fought in the resistance .

It's so crazy.

There were so many Jews against so few men.

How can so few men dominate so many and do evil to them?

I ask myself this all the time.

What is paralyzing the people? Why didn't they all turn on the SS men at once?

And these men often became so sick from it.

How terrified is a soldier, maybe in his mid-twenties, that he would do that? How traumatized must he be by that?

How can you ever explain that?
